Question

Ten balls numbered 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4 are placed in a bag. Balls are taken one at a time from the bag at random, and the number is noted.

What is the probability of drawing a ball with the number 3?

A.1/10
B.1/5
C.1/3
D.1/2

Answer 1

The probability of drawing a ball with the number 3 from the given set of balls is 1/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of drawing a ball with the number 3, we first need to determine the total number of balls and the number of balls with the number 3.

The total number of balls is 10.

The number of balls with the number 3 is 3.

So, the probability of drawing a ball with the number 3 is 3/10, which is equivalent to 0.3 or 30%.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. 1/10.
